Bolt X: Persist
Commentary
Press On. Nothing in the world can take the place of persistence.
Talent will not; talented unsuccessful people commonplace. Genius will not; ideas only matter when they are realized. Education will not; knowing how to do something is far less important than doing it.
All of these are powerful tools which have shaped the course of human history and changed the face of the very planet we call home. But without persistence, they do not matter.
Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent.
Something about momentum.
Tell the story of the Persistence quote from the Ten Bullets (it wasn't Ray Kroc who said it, and yet the legend persists!).
Paradox
- Never Give Up
- Know When to Quit
Not quitting when you should have will ruin your work and corrode the spirit. Taking a break can be the best possible action. Illogical persistence is often the critical ingredient of successful ambitious projects.
